While working on your Mac you create and download a lot of files, but rarely delete anything. As time goes by you have less and less room for your data. DaisyDisk finds those hidden unused gigabytes.

DaisyDisk gives you a perfect overview of all the disks connected to your Mac, be it Macintosh HD, flash card, Thunderbolt disk or network storage. And does it in a beautiful way.

Cons
Con Calculation based on 1000 not 1024
It's nice to have a base 1000 (MB, GB, …) calculation but it should be optional. Default should be 1024 (MiB, GiB, …)
Con Expensive for how often it is used
Con Quite inconvenient to assign windows
You always have to use the mouse instead of having proper keyboard shortcuts.
Con No longer updated
While this may work for current machines, the last beta version (to be found on the site) is from January 2016.
Developer's twitter account has stopped being active as well, on November '16.
Con Windows 10 buggy
Not all keyboard shortcuts work. Support is non existent.
Con Installer requires admin rights, installs itself to AppData of the used account
Something to consider if would be used in a restricted environment.
Con Not free
Costs $14.
